Documents of the Life and Work of Johann Sebastian Bach by Hans-Joachim Schulze (student project)
Redesign of the book Johann Sebastian Bach. Leben und Werk in Dokumenten (“Documents of the Life and Work of J. S. Bach”) by Hans-Joachim Schulze, a German musicologist and Bach scholar, first published in 1975 and translated into Russian in 1980.
The book presents a translation of an extract published in Leipzig from a three-volume academic edition of all handwritten and printed texts related to Johann Sebastian Bach from 1685 to 1800. In the layout, Bach’s documents are separated from all the others by a different type of spread.
The edition is supplemented with engravings, letters, musical manuscripts, financial documents and other images from the collection of the Bach Archive Leipzig.
Made as a non-commercial student project at HSE Art and Design School.
